Jessica and I decided early on that we wanted to have a gold theme. We shopped at places like party city, craft warehouse and dollar tree. After Halloween, places have a lot of their decorations on sale. She also went out and found pine cones and leaves that she let sit out and dry before spray painting them gold. After spray painting the leaves, she wrote on them with peoples names as their place cards. It was beautifully done.
I spent a majority of an evening trying to make the perfect Friendsgiving sign. Jessica had bought a burlap table runner on clearance at home depot so I cut triangles out of them. She had old curtain samples that I made into letters and we found fake leaves at craft warehouse that I hot glue gunned onto the burlap. The string is actually a fall themed garland that I unraveled.
My centerpiece I made was from an old mason jar I had sitting around. I glued a burlap ribbon around it and through in some pine cones, fake jewels, and acorns to hold the fake flowers that I found at dollar tree up. It turned out to be perfect.
The serving table and the drink table where very easy. We took an old sheets and blankets that Jessica had and turned them into table clothes. We used the gold pine cones and fake leaves as decorations. She also spray painted a fake pumpkin and gourds gold.
Setting up the dinning table was our favorite part. We had gold square plates, gold napkins, gold cups and perfectly placed utensils. We loved that table!

Overall, it was a perfect evening with the most perfect people. They are who I am truly thankful for and happy to have in my life.
